Fix right shift of negative numbers
PR31590 shows that right shift of negative numbers doesn't work
correctly since GDB 14:
(gdb) p (-3) >> 1
$1 = -1
GDB 13 and earlier returned the correct value -2.
And there actually is one test that shows the failure:
print -1 >> 1
$84 = 0
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/bitshift.exp: lang=asm: rsh neg lhs: print -1 >> 1
The problem was introduced with the change to gmp functions in
commit 303a881f87.
It's wrong because gdb_mpz::operator>> uses mpz_tdif_q_2exp, which
always rounds toward zero, and the gmp docu says this:
For positive n both mpz_fdiv_q_2exp and mpz_tdiv_q_2exp are simple
bitwise right shifts.
For negative n, mpz_fdiv_q_2exp is effectively an arithmetic right shift
treating n as two's complement the same as the bitwise logical functions
do, whereas mpz_tdiv_q_2exp effectively treats n as sign and magnitude.
So this changes mpz_tdiv_q_2exp to mpz_fdiv_q_2exp, since it
does right shifts for both positive and negative numbers.
